Christmas Day...

Santa at daddy's work...

haven't been here for a while...

Keeping up w/ my blog is difficult these days (school started again in Jan. Only have 3 classes, but one includes weekly clinicals and one is Pharmacology- enough said) :( i'm kinda bummed I missed blogging for the Christmas and New Year, but I'll summarize it with pictures :D

Mom and Dad were here from Florida for Christmas/New Year week and Mg. Rey was here from Canada Nov- Jan. Fun was had by all and Mg. Rey's gift to everyone was to work on whoever's house needed fixing...including us! :D YAY!!! We finally got a mouse hole patched up (which btw, we never knew we had! EW!), got our base boards nailed in, got the leaks in our bathrooms fixed (actually, Jenner's friend from work helped us with those), and many more! We had a couple of trips to Sushi Deli 3 with the Canadian...those were FUN! - Mg Rey didn't know we were going there for Sake, needless to say, not everyone survived the wrath of the Sake Bombs, but that's a whole different story that we will leave to the memories in our heads! hah!


My nephew from New Jersey also moved in in January. He's taking up Audio Production at and art school here and so far so good. He says he's never liked going to school as much as he does now. Everythings going well, although, he got me re-addicted to coffee! My sister bought us a Keurig coffee maker! We were soo excited! haha.

Jeremiah and I got to go to Sea World with the Penaranda's the day after Christmas! Miah loved to see the Polar Bears, Pengpengs (penguins), and Shamu. oh, he also loved the popcorn!

Family time during the holidays and the beginning of the year was plentiful and fun times...for the sake of saving time for studying, I'll just let you see the pics and videos. Enjoy!

hmm, guess you can only post 2 videos per blog?? more vids to come...

Haircut time for Miah = terrible time for mommy & daddy

Sooo, it was that time again...the dreaded haircutting time for Jeremiah. I thought I prepped him well. I told him that he could finish watching Lightning McQueen, then we would cut his hair. He even saw me prepping the kitchen floor with big trash bags to catch his cut hair & asked, "what u doin mommy?" BUT, once I got him on the chair & plugged in the clippers, OMG, he started crying for dear life! then of course the little one comes close to the kitchen (it was funny, she never went past the counter to see what was going on) & starts crying cause she hears her brother screaming his head off! So I have Jenner still at work due home any minute (which seemed like a lifetime), Jeremiah, hair partially cut on the chair in the kitchen, crying his eyes out & screaming at the top of his lungs for me to "turn it (the clippers) off! turn it off mommy!", and Emma, balling just as loud as her brother! Finally Jenner arrived and I let him try to negotiate w/ Jeremiah while I put Em down for a nap. 30 mins later, Em's sleeping and father & son are still in the kitchen, Miah's hair still partially cut. OY! No joke, it took like 3 1/2 hrs to finish cutting the little man's hair! Terrible terrible time, however, for all the struggling & crying he did, I must say, his hair doesn't look too shabby!

not a great photo to show off his new 'do, but he was happy!
